Welcome.  I'm glad you are here.

I'm a Pittsburgh based mother of four (ages: 1, 4, 6, 9).  Taking pictures of our ordinary days reminds me of their beauty.

Canon 7D: 50mm 1.4: ISO 800: 1/250 sec: f/1.8He walks downstairs in the morning and proudly announces that he has dressed himself.

All day, I was reminded by this little triangle on his back he had dressed all by himself.   When I was cleaning up the Cheerios he'd spilled on the floor (again) while pouring his cereal by himself, I was reminded by his backward shirt that he is a little boy and very proud to be getting bigger.

I use my camera like a paper and pen to make a note of what happened today.  Something to remind me later of this little detail.  That's why I took this photo today.  I know he will start to care about the direction of his shirt some day, but today, he didn't ... and I was charmed.

very sweet. The boys are so charming and just pull your heart. Girls too! I like the though of your camera as paper and pen.
